Hardcopy Checks

All physical checks must be made payable to: Social Good Fund. We always recommend that if you are receiving donations or payments via check to please have the checks sent to YOU. This way, you can make sure the check is filled out properly and create a donor contact list, if applicable.

If SGF receives a check directly and the payer forgets to write your project name in the memo, we won’t know who it’s for. If the sender writes the check to your project and forgets to make it payable to Social Good, our bank won’t allow us to deposit it.

SGF makes check deposits approximately three times per week.

All checks for your project should be filled out like this:

PLEASE send all checks to our mailing address, if you will not be depositing them directly into the Social Good Fund Chase bank account yourself.

Social Good Fund PO Box 5473 Richmond, CA 94805-4021

To send mail via UPS or FedEx, our street address is:

Social Good Fund 12651 San Pablo Ave., Unit 5473 Richmond, CA 94805

If we receive checks by mail directly for deposit from the donor or payer, there are two ways to see the donor information in your account activity reports:

1. SGF will deposit any checks and enter the name on the check, the check info and the amount into Sage. Please contact [e-mail] if you need a donor list with details and addresses.

2. SGF will scan the check image if it comes with additional notes or paperwork of any kind. Once we deposit and post the check into the Sage system, we will then email the project director the images.

SGF will not scan a check image if there is not a contact name associated with the check. It is the project director’s responsibility to email the donor reports to appropriate project contact.
